New Feature: Tween Curve (WIP)
This is a bit of work in progress at the moment but it's semi functional and I need to work on other tools that this tool is the backbone of. Posting now for public comment. Introducing Tween Curve Simply select input curve A and input curve B and input a tween value between 0 and 1 and this tool outputs an approximate…

How can I face blend 3 surfaces?
I have been trying to make this corner more smoothed out, maybe following a similar curvature to the right wall which has a fillet and isn't linear. That didnt work with curves (or i did it wrong). Instead, I would like to "face blend" three surfaces, like pinching out the corner and making it smooth. Only one wall here is…

New Feature: Edit Curve Plus - BETA
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/cbd5b34feb4bb0575a2bb2b4/w/37bf21e38c9e1ebe1fdbda21/e/113fec25a8e729bfba1786e4 So this is even more experimental than Bridging Curve Plus, but it seems to do some things that I've wanted for a while. Onshape doesn't have great ways to manipulate multiple points in a feature at once, and…

Multiple Intersections with evDistance or ???
I'm trying to find all the potential intersections between two arbitrary 3D curves (edges). I've been playing with evDistance and discovering that it always comes up with a single result. There are some old threads and ideas around splitting or sampling curves to get more complete results. What is the current…

First project challenge — bending irregular geometry in Onshape
Hi, this is my first full project in Onshape. I’m still very much a beginner, and my goal is to turn a vacuum into my favorite droid — R2-D2 from Star Wars. Right now I’m stuck trying to bend one of R2’s arms and could really use some advice. At first I tried using projected curves, but I found that both the top and front…

Sketch can't actually obey "coincident" constraint
So, here's what I did: created a sketch with a spline approximated that spline using Edit Curve to simplify it converted the resulting 3d curve back into 2d by "Use"-ing it in another sketch used "Offset" on the resulting sketch curve added various lines which intersect with the offset curve What I'm observing is that…

How can I quickly produce a 90 deg cruved part
Folks, This is shared with OnShape support as well as here is the link https://cad.onshape.com/documents/9b7f1e3c4d4771aad1936caa/w/045a8fc2153e7f77804fb1d7/e/148c7bfb2415fe1ed7334206?renderMode=0&uiState=684a13214810d10f8231970a If you go to the V08 Wire Cvr Copy 1 you can see that I've simply cut and move the pieces 90…

Imported step file trouble extruding
Hello. I am relatively new to 3D modeling but have been using OnShape to make designs for 3D printing for about a year. I understand most of the basics of sketches and extrusions and have played around with revolves, lofts, sweeps etc. One thing I would like to get better at is remixing designs. To that point I have…

How do I snap to text curves?
I have some numbers that I want to turn into stamps. To provide spacing I want to run construction lines off the widest parts of the numbers in the Sketch. OnShape doesn't let me select the curves for snapping. It lets me Select them but not operate on them. It only lets me select the construction lines of the framework it…

Selection N compound curves and generate a piece wise approximation and print to debug
I have a funny use case. I'd like to use the onshape sketcher to draw curves. Then I'd like a feature that can select N curves and process them to get piece wise linear approximations and then dump the points to the console or debug. My exact case is that when writing test cases in c++ I often have to generate small…

create curve from two vertex and over defined surface
Hello, I am looking for a correct solution to solve this problem: I have two vertexes that are part of a body(grey) and more specifically to the surface green, I could like to be able to recreate the edge highlighted by using only, the vertexes and the surface itself (without using the previously created edge). I can…

Projected curve: Error regenerating
As practice, I'm trying to model a mini stapler from my desk. I started sketch the white "cross" on the back of the stapler, as seen from Top and Right. Now I'm trying to create a Projected curve between my two sketches, but I hit the problem "error regenerating", if I select all edges touching both white and pink areas…

Is there any video tutorials for building parametric curves with functions with FeatureScript?
Like parametric curves by interpolation and Bezier curves. Im completely new to featurescript and i have been having a hard time learning it from the material disposed by onshape.

3D Spline with tangency and weighting control
Ok, i am an aeronautical engineer by training and i really wanted 3D splines for lofting wing, propellor and parachute shapes. Here is a custom feature that does a lot of what i was looking for. The original work was done by Mark Barr and the tangency capability was added by Ilya Baran after i promised to leave him alone…
